Barley az Fall Feed,

I think if more farmers would trv
iate-sowed barley for green fodder
there would be less of this early Fall
pasturing of the meadows, which is
now practiced as soon as the first
frosts injure the fodder and corn. l
am now feeding twice q day to my
cows all the green fresh.cut barley
they will eat, and they prefer it to the
best green fodder corn. I sowed my
barley-three-quarters of an acre
July 30 on piece that had grown
Strawberries for two years. On Sep
TENDER rs it would have cut a heavy
swathe offodder. October the barley
began to show few heads, and think
it might keep green until November l.
We have had several hard frosts and
some freezes that made quite thick ice
so that fodder corn was spoiled some
weeks ago. and yet the barley shows
not the least injury from these frosts.
: feed in the stable, always cutting
enough at night, when there is no
frost on it. to feed night and morning.
! don't like to feed it when full Of
frost. The barley can be sowed later
than cornfodder. or even after haying.

Late Planted Corn.

BY A. B. Allen. In order to have
green ears of corn into October for the
table and stalks for feeding the stock
1 have for years past planted as late
as the first week in August. The sorts
used for this purpose have been the
dwarf sweet corn, such as grow their
stalks about five feet high. The past
August, not having seed enough to
plant all the ground prepared for the
crop, the last four rows were finished
with common Jersey field corn.
BY the first and second weeks of o.
tOber the sweet corn produced ears
fit for the table, and full grown stalks
suitable for feeding and to cut
and cure for winter fodder. The Jer-
sey field sort then only just began to
tassel, and a high wind arising one
day, followed by a branching rain,
nearly all the stalks were postrated
on the ground and there saturated
and soaked until the water could be
wrung from them by hand. But the
stalks of the sweet corn stood perfect
ly erect at this time, and when cut for
fodder were dried enough in three
days to be bound in sheaves and
stood on a hay NOW.
I shall be careful hereafter to plant
sweet dwarf corn instead of common
field corn, for the cattle and horses
much prefer it, and 1 believe it is the
most nutritious, although chemical
analysis of the two shows no appre.
ciable difference. When the appetite
and digestion of the animal seem to
conflict with the teachings OF the lab
oratory take sides with the animal.

Feeding Buttermilk to Pigs.

In feeding pigs at the Wisconsin az.
ricultural experimental station the
rule has been to allow one pound OF
cornmeal to every gallon of butter
milk. This serves the ration still
strong in the heterogeneous element nec-
essary to promote growth. AS the
pigs advance in size and fat is more
desirable than growth, more corn
meal is added. This makes the food
more carbonaceous and causes the
hogs to lay on more fat.
In some experiment made at the
Massachusetts agricultural expert
mental station-conntingc ornmeal at
$28 per ton and buttermilk at is
cents per 100 pot1nds-it was found
that apound of pork, fed at first on a.
slop made of ~ ounces of cornmeal
for every gallon of buttermilk, cost
but 4.6 cents; but that after gradually
increasing the cornmeal until it reach.
ed within q fraction of two pounds of
the meal to each gallon of the butter
milk, the cost of making a pound of
pork, amounted to 5.73 cents. This
latter was in the coolest part OF the
winter, and it was thought that the
difference in temperature (requiring,
as it did, g. more carbonaceous food)
accounted in q great measure for the
difference in the cost OF the pork

Aberdeen Cattle.

The black hornless cattle called
Aberdeen are excellent for the North:
west and West. They are extremely
hardy and make the best of beef: The
absence OF horns is much in their fa-
vor. They compete favorably with
the Shorthorns and Herdfords, but
the HoIstein, or Dutch. cattle are quite
different, being better fitted for the
dairy; but the steers make very good
beef. Grade Holstein steers have been
fet for beef with as much profit as any
other kind, but they would not do so
we'll under exposure as the polled
Aberdeen. The polled Angus is very
similar to the Abertleens. The name
is different; that is all or most of the
difference. It would be no improve
ment on the Aberdeens to cross them
with any breed, but they make q good
cross with the Shorthorn and the
larger native COWS.

The Dorkina Fowl.

The Dorking is not sd we'll known in
this country as in England, but it is
becoming quite popular. It stands
first as q table fowl, owing to the excel
lent quality of it's flesh, while lis a lay:
er it is we'll above the average. There
are three we'll known varieties-the
white, silver-gray and colored, the lat
ter being rather a trife larger than
the Others, but the white is the Oldest
established. All of them have five
toes on each foot, are very compact,
fine in bone, and possess juicy flesh
when cooked. For capons, a cross OF
the Dorking or Brahmas or Cochins is
the best. that can be- made. A cross of
the Dorking and game makes superb
table fowl.

FARM, FIELD AnD FIREsIDE.
Farm Notea:

The greatest mistake made in feeding
fowls is III over.feeding. Hens are
gorged with food which makes fat in
stead of providing those elements
which 20 to make up the egg. Corn
consists almost wholly of starch and
oil. and while it is a good food for
fattening fowls, it is one of the worst
OF all foods for producing eggs. No
one food contains all the needed ele-
nents, and mixture of several kinds
should be given.
The story comes from Salem, ILL.,,
Of a flock of $50 sheep that were
overtaken in their pasture by fire.
They at once made for knoll in the
field, and there punched themselves,
with the lambs In the middle, and be-
gan moving in a circle, treading the
weeds and grass into the dry earth,
until the fire was out.
A weaned colt should have the best
hay and crushed oats: Clover hay,
free from dust, is very good; but
sweet mixed meadow hay, Of red top
and other meadow grasses, with bright
corn fodder, will be the best. Two
quarts o: crushed oats daily as a be.
ginning, and gradually increased as
the colt grows, will be sufficient;
little linseed mixed with the oats will
be beneficial. Thorough brushing and
the use Of a card are necess airy to
keep the coat and skin in good order.
The well.known otten-observed fact
that soil continues fertile for a whole
generation on and around the site
from which an cid barn or house has
teen removed, affords full evidence of
the truth OF the opinion that the
main elements OF fertility are held by
the soil and only washed away when
it is washed away. They are given
out even to tho roots Of plants but
with cautious sparingness-som much
each year and no more; in annual ra-
tions as it were, like the daily YEARLY
bread granted to man.
Michigan wheat statistics for the
crop year just closed, furnished by
the State Department, show an aver
age yield OF 13 $40 bushels per acre,
aggregating 20, 815,153 bushels, W hich
is more than 100000 bushels less
than the average for the last eight
years. Conditions of soil which with
an average rainfall would have pro-
duced twenty five bushels to the acre
may have given but five; while lighter
land, having good supply Of hunts;
would yield seventeen to twenty
bushels. The yield from fields sown
on summer fallow was II 1-3 bushels,
while corn and wheat stubble gave

From Good Housekeeping.
write this from under my own
vine and fig-tree, from beneath a roof
OF my own. I am a landed proprietor,
d taxpayer, the owner of q bit of
ground, and a house. Ever since our
marriage. seven years ago, my wife
and have longed for this day to come.
We have saved and ''scrimped." and
hoped and prayed for it, and at last
it has come to pass. We have paid
but hundreds Of dollars for rent, and
been hustled around in the nomadic
manner too common among young
married people in America. And
when our two cherished brussels car
pets were being cut and slashed
into 50 recklessly, to fit the
parlor and sitting-room, Mrs. Dane
said gratefully: "Well, it's the last
time they'll have to be cut, for they
are down to stay now; that's one con.
ISOLATION" The home We are so hap
py in is not all paid for, but we see
our way clear to pay for it in time.
Young married people should start out
in life with the fixed determination OF
putting roof over their heads that
they can call their own; and this is
not such a very hard thing to do in
these days of loan and building asso-
Citations and cheap rates OF interest.
My interest and taxes are not much
more than half the amount / have
been paying In rents. It is difficult to
define the feeling one has in g. nome of
ones own. There is something
in being a Handed proprietor"
that tones one up Wonderfully
and adds dignity and earnest
ness to life. Iou literally feel that
you are somebody. I actually felt a
positive pleasure in paying my taxes
and felt sorry for the poor fellows who
haven't any taxes to pay. Ihave set
out some rose bushes, exulting in the
thought that they were mine and
neither they nor 1 were subject to the
whim of some real.estate agent, who
could give us thirty days notice.
When come home from my office at
night, it is home indeed to me. And
when one has children it is more nec-
essary than ever that there be place
that they can love and remember as
home throughout all their after lives.
l hope to see the children of my eight.
months-old baby playing in this house
some day.

Sir Morell Mackenzie.

AOndon VANITY falr.
Three generations ago Ross-shire
Highlander put a shilling about some
part of his person and set his face
across the Scotch border. His name
was Mackenzie, and he amassed a
good fortune, and his grandson grew
into mad doctor of much ability
but OF retiring habits. To this physi-
clan, then living at Leytonstone, Eng
land. there was born, so years ago,
son who was named Morell, after an
uncle who persisted very creditably in
the loss OF the Pegasus. Young Nor
ell was left to run wild in Epping For
est to an advanced boyhood. but he
progressed we'll later;took a high degree
at the University Of London; abjured
the retiring habits of his father;
screwed brass plate on his door; and
took to looking down peoples
throats for guineas. His success in
private practice was great and imme-
date, and in a few years after setting
up, he could give to physicians who
had been established q lifetime q
score OF patients and beating. He
became specialist. He wrote books
on Diseases Of the Throat and Nose''
and on the "Hygiene of the Vocal Or
gans." He founded tho hospital tor
diseases OF the throat in Golden
Square, obtained all the professional
honors in general which throat and
nose can give, and became the special
champion of specialism in medi-
cine as opposed to general routine; in.
which capacity he largely developed
and amply displayedthe bellicose and:
controversial predisposition he had
inherited from the original Highland:
er. A few months ago he was called
in to deal with the throat of the
crown prince of Germany, which had
baff1ed all the German doctors; and
this he had treated with ouch success
